La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVMune 400 Oil Control Gel-Cream SPF50+ is a very high protection facial sunscreen built for oily and combination skin, delivering a shine-free matte finish with no white cast. Powered by the Mexoryl 400 filter, it shields skin against UVB, UVA, and ultra-long UVA rays that drive premature ageing and dark spots, while its lightweight gel-cream texture melts in and stays comfortable through hot, humid days.

Why This Sunscreen Works

Sunlight reaches the skin as a spectrum of UV rays, and the longest UVA wavelengths penetrate deepest. Mexoryl 400 is a patented filter that extends protection up to 400nm, the ultra-long UVA range most linked to loss of firmness and pigmentation. Combined with a broad UVB and UVA filter system, this gel-cream offers photostable, broad-spectrum defence, while Airlicium technology absorbs excess sebum to keep skin matte.

Ideal For

This sunscreen is ideal for oily, combination, blemish-prone, and sensitive skin across the UAE, where high heat, humidity, and strong sun make lightweight, sweat-resistant protection essential. If you want daily SPF that controls shine, resists water, and disappears without a greasy feel or white cast, the Anthelios UVMune 400 Oil Control Gel-Cream is an easy addition to your routine. For persistent skin concerns, a dermatologist can offer tailored advice.

• Mexoryl 400: an advanced UV filter that targets ultra-long UVA rays up to 400nm for deep, broad-spectrum protection against sun-induced ageing and dark spots.

• Airlicium: an aerated silica technology that absorbs excess oil and sweat, delivering a lasting matte, shine-free finish for oily and combination skin.

• La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water: naturally soothing and rich in select minerals, it supports sensitive, reactive skin.

The non-comedogenic, water-resistant formula is dermatologically tested and suitable for sensitive skin.

1. Shake the tube, then apply the gel-cream generously as the final step of your morning routine, about 15 minutes before sun exposure.

2. Smooth an even layer over the face and neck, patting rather than rubbing to avoid pilling under makeup.

3. Reapply every 2 hours and after sweating, swimming, or towel-drying.

For best comfort on oily skin, layer it over a light, non-greasy moisturiser.
